Grid Delivery Companies

Electric Utility Providers

Utility companies deliver electricity to your home — they own the grid, maintain the lines, and respond to outages. They do not sell electricity plans. Understanding your utility helps you know who to call when the lights go out.

What Do Utility Companies Do?

Utilities and electricity suppliers are two different things — here's the distinction that matters most.

Deliver Electricity

Utilities own and maintain the physical infrastructure — power lines, poles, substations, and meters — that brings electricity from generation sources to your home.

Restore Outages

When the lights go out, it is the utility that sends crews, repairs lines, and restores service. Your electricity supplier has no role in outage response.

Location-Assigned

Your utility is determined strictly by your address — you cannot choose it. It never changes unless you move to a different service territory.

Delivery Charges

Utilities charge a regulated delivery fee on your bill for maintaining the grid. These fees are set by regulators, not by your electricity supplier.

Utility vs. Supplier: An electric utility delivers electricity. An electric provider sells the electricity supply. In deregulated markets, customers can choose their supplier — but the utility is always assigned by location.
